Jopay Paguia Gets Emotional as Husband Joshua Zamora Proposes—Again
The Sexbomb member got surprised when Joshua popped the question along with their daughters on stage during the group’s rAWnd concert
The Sexbomb Dancers’ long-awaited reunion has been filled with nostalgia, high energy, and plenty of tears—but one moment stood out as deeply personal. During their recent three-day concert at the Mall of Asia Arena, the spotlight shifted from the stage to a love story everyone has watched from the beginning.
In the middle of her solo performance, Jopay Paguia found herself overwhelmed with emotion as her husband, Maneuvers dancer Joshua Zamora, walked onstage with their two children during Day 4 of their concert. In front of thousands of fans, Joshua dropped to one knee and asked Jopay to marry him—again. Her answer was an immediate, tearful yes.
It was a moment that wasn’t just a sweet gesture but summed up what they’ve been through in the last 11 years.
Choosing Each Other, Again and Again
In a reel Joshua later posted, Jopay spoke candidly about what the moment meant to her—especially after a challenging season in their lives.
“Maraming maraming salamat… ang dami kong pinagdaanan recently,” she shared. “Nandiyan siya, lagi siyang naka-suporta sa akin pati sa dalawang anak ko. Thank you so much. I love you.”
The proposal came after a month that tested not just Jopay’s strength as a performer, but as a wife and mother. Before the concert, she underwent knee surgery and had earlier suffered a concussion—experiences that worried fans.
Married since 2014, the couple shares two daughters, Alessa and Ariana, while Joshua has two sons from a previous relationship. Together, they’ve built a home rooted in teamwork, respect, and presence—especially when things get hard.
Love That Shows Up
Like many couples in the public eye, Jopay and Joshua have faced criticism over the years. Earlier this year, Joshua made headlines after responding to a basher who dismissed Jopay as cheap and “just a dancer.”
Speaking on Fast Talk last month, Jopay explained that her husband is not one to engage with negativity unless it crosses a line.
“Hindi talaga siya pumapatol,” she said. “Pero sinagot niya iyon kasi nakita niya yung hard work ko—yung pagiging nanay ko, sa lahat ng aspeto.”
For Joshua, it wasn’t about defending a title. It was about standing up for the woman he sees every day—the partner who works hard, shows up for their children, and gives them both on and off the stage.
More Than a Promise
The second proposal wasn’t about rings or spectacles. It was a reminder that marriage isn’t sustained by one “yes,” but by many—spoken in moments of uncertainty, recovery, and growth.
For Jopay and Joshua, love is more than the vows they made before God. It’s choosing each other through physical setbacks, public scrutiny, and the everyday work of parenting and partnership.
On a stage filled with lights and cheers, their story stood out for its simplicity: love that stays, love that defends, and love that asks—again—because it’s worth choosing every single time.
